Piazza San Marco a Venezia After all the controversy surrounding pigeon feeding in St.Mark’s square in Venice, our friends at TravelBlog have concluded their survey on the most beautiful squares Italy: and St.Mark’s has come out on top.

The victory was not a given, as the survey had the Campo in Siena out in front until the last moment. If you’ve got QuickTime on your computer, you can check out this virtual guide to the piazza, from the site Italyguides.
